Final essay requires you to apply a capability gap from the course case study (the Army post Vietnam through Desert Storm) to the Force Management Model. The CBIs discussed this case study throughout the course. Additionally, many of your readings were associated with this topic.
Using the specific directions for written assignments in the F100 Assessment Plan (Appendix A to the F100 Block Advance Sheet) and the F111 advance sheet, write a 4- to 6-page essay by identifying a historical capability gap from the case study timeframe. This may be a capability gap identified in the reading or a different capability gap that was not addressed. Apply the Force Management model to this capability gap. Your capability gap must address organizational and materiel change.
Your essay must demonstrate how the FM model addresses the following items for the capability gap you chose:
-what created the capability gap? (Strategic and operational requirements)
-why are the chosen solution(s) the correct solutions? (JCIDS, DAS, AME, FD)
-how are the effects, or risks, of the solution managed, or mitigated, through the FM process? (FD, FI, DAS)
-how is prioritization determined and implemen
ted? (PPBE, JCIDS, strategic requirement)
-how is the solution officially codified and integrated into the force? (FD, FI).
The purpose of this paper is for you to demonstrate your ability to apply the FM model. Answering the above questions requires you understand ELOs 8.1 Β 8.4. To apply the FM model, you must understand the purpose behind the different processes. This starts with a comparative analysis of what occurred in the historical timeframe and the current process. Then, you must apply the concepts of today to what occurred in the past. What is the Βso whatΒ of the differences? How would things be different today? What would or would not have changed with what occurred in the past, or, what would todayΒs process do to preclude or create issues? The questions listed above are given to assist in formulating the organization of your essay.
ELO-CC-8.1:
Describe how strategic guidance
leads to identifying requirements and solutions to provide capabilities.
ELO-CC-8.2: Develop solutions
across DOTMLPF-P.
ELO-CC-8.3: Explain how the Army allocates resources to support solutions.
ELO-CC-8.4: Employ force integration to provide
capability to combatant commanders.
